A series of Pacific rainstorms are lining up to soak Western Washington through the weekend and into next week.
Why it matters: It'll be wet — but not a repeat of last week's deluge, which dropped more than an inch of rain in one day at the National Weather Service's field office in Seattle, meteorologist Samantha Borth tells Axios.
Driving the news: Three separate systems are expected to move through the region between today and the middle of next week, says Borth.
The first will bring up to three-quarters of an inch of rain through Friday, followed by another round Saturday and Sunday with similar totals.
After a brief dry spell Monday and Tuesday, a third system is forecast to arrive in the middle of next week, though Borth says the timing on that one could shift.
